Featuring bursts of citrus, spice and sweetness, Caribbean food is a fusion of Spanish, African and Creole flavours. Seafood is a staple food among these island nations, which is why I’ve added a flavour-packed spiced fish recipe, served with a fresh peach salsa. The vibrant slaw is a medley of veg and is a great dish to have up your sleeve when you’re feeding a crowd.

Method
- FISH: Mix together the spices, salt, tamari and maple syrup in a small bowl. Rub your fish in the spices, then set aside to marinade while you get on with everything else.
- SLAW: Shred all your coleslaw ingredients (apart from your herbs) in a food processor and then mix through the dressing and herbs until everything is coated. (This recipe makes a huge amount; perfect for leftovers the next day).
- SALSA: Combine all the chopped salsa ingredients together in another bowl. Squeeze with lime juice, add zest and season to taste.
- COOK: Now you have all your sides ready, place a large frying pan over a high heat and add the coconut oil or ghee. Once the oil is melted and the pan is hot, add your fish, skin-side down and fry for 3 mins until crispy then flip the fish over and turn the heat off. It will continue to cook while you plate up.
- TO SERVE: Divide sides between serving plates, top with fish and garnish with some extra coriander and mint.
